Need more Galactus.
And the problem of stagnation should be a non issue as long as studios use the massive universes at their disposal.
I'm also a little tired of these origin stories. Someone out there needs to start taking leaps of faith and just exploring the endless possibilities.

I only just realized I missed replying to your comment. I agree about the leaps of faith. People just need to start trying something new. Maybe one where the superhero is the bad guy. Or maybe one where the people are the bad ones and they totally turn on the hero (I was expecting to see this in The Dark Knight Rises but sadly they didn't touch on it).

Edited by welderman adam: 1/16/2013 4:31:36 PMI'm more thinking like just grabbing some characters from the extended universes and give them a place at the movies. I'd love to see a Swamp Thing movie. Or seriously, a Galactus movie. Learn a little more about the cosmic egg and the universe before ours. I lost touch with comics for a while and only recently started getting back into them. I know there's a wealth of fantastic stories needing to be told, and for me to read still. It's a good time for new fans or kids to have their super-hero horizons opened up. With the acceptance of these movies being where it's at, and the seemingly genuine approach by movie makers to treat the material with respect, everyone could benefit.

You must have missed the scene where all the police are chasing Batman and let Bane escape even though Batman was trying to help them.
-
Yeah but it seemed as though it was only the one bad police leader who was ordering them all to do that. I wanted to see the actual reaction of the people. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight made commentaries on society because they showed how the average person acts. There was no human reference point to show how the general population felt about Batman, only that one chase.

How about that statue at the end, where the public worship him as a hero? And he wasn't a bad cop, he was a very good cop, who fell for the lie from Gordon and Batman.
-
That ending was fantastic, and I wanted moments like that throughout the film or else we don't get any real change. The public always liked him, and now they worship him. Also he wasn't a good cop. He wouldn't try to stand up to Bane until Gordon convinced him. He wanted to further his career and get fame by going after Batman rather than a small time criminal that is Bane (even though it was clear Batman had been trying to stop Bane).
-
Not necessarily. At the beginning of the film we saw the mayor talking about how the Batman was a criminal, and the people at the party agreed with him. We also see that child drawing the bat symbol on the ground, and Daggot's reaction to the Batman. "He's drawing the cops of Bane" shows that they also think he's a criminal like Bane is.

You are kind of right about him being a good cop, although I feel as though the movie tried to position us in a way that we wouldn't like him (at least at the beginning). But you bring up a good point that actually goes with my argument. The kid draws the bat symbol on the ground and wants him to come back. Surely he would think he killed Harvey Dent? It is explained to us that Blake always trusted Batman and never thought he killed Dent but it starts to get confusing. We only see one character who seems to dislike Batman (and that is the cop we were talking about) pretty much everyone else likes him. I wish we had more time spent with the general people (like we get with the small boy in Batman Begins, and the whole thing in The Dark Knight with Jokers 'social experiments') so we could have understood more about their reaction. Did they support Bane's revolution? Did some of them? Did they like Batman or hate him? Too little about the public opinion of Batman is made clear, and I think it takes away from the power of the film. But this is just my subjective view, you are free to think it was better without those things.
